• Collaborate with engineers, vendors, and internal teams to continuously improve localization processes
• Partner with vendors to ensure scalable handoffs, high-quality translations, and clear communication
• Participate in QA and troubleshooting efforts across product releases
• Drive automation and scalability efforts in partnership with globalization engineering
• Maintain documentation, share best practices, and contribute to team-wide process improvements
• Educate cross-functional partners on localization workflows and champion globalization best practices
  
  

What We’re Looking For

• 2–3 years of hands-on experience managing localization or translation projects
• Strong understanding of localization and internationalization concepts
• Comfortable working with technical tools, file types, and platforms
• Familiarity with formats like XML, HTML, JSON, DITA, Markdown (.md), and XLIFF
• Exposure to tools like Perforce, Git, Jenkins, content/workflow management systems
• Excellent communication skills and ability to collaborate across global teams
• Passion for languages and a drive to improve user experience for customers worldwide
• Experience with Translation Management Systems is a plus
